Your Favorite/Best Knives in D2 steel? (Production)

Dozier knives Raptor line or hunting/camping style KS-7 Wilderness Knife comes to mind. When it comes to getting the most out of D2 there is no one better at it than Bob Dozier.
 
Love D2. > own the Brous bionic and lionsteel opera cocobolo. I have owned a D2 mini grip, mini barrage, dpx heat in D2, lionsteel sr1a. Great steel. Never had any corrosion issues.
 
My first decent folder was a Kabar Dozier Thorn. Still have it, still love it. Maybe that's why i like xhp on my domino so much since it acts similarly.
 
RAT 3 in D2 is one of the best EDC fixed blades I have ever owned.

Russian D2, not sure if it's production considering it's an early model by them.
 
Benchmade 551 in D2 with the BK1 coating, never had rust issues at all and it's saber ground with a sturdy tip so it can take a serious beating for a small knife. I had mine professionally sharpened shortly after I got it but only because I wanted it reprofiled to 40 degrees inclusive so I can maintain it on my Sharpmaker.
 
I don't have anything that's 100% D2. I have a Kershaw Rake, which has the composite blade, and the stuff from Traditional Filipino Weapons is a mix of 5160 and D2.

Plan on picking up one of the upcoming Cold Steel Leathernecks in D2 though.
 
I really like by BM adamas fixed in D2, but that is my only blade in D2. Its a great knife and stood up to a ton of abuse.
 
BM Mini grip - green handle, black blade Cabelas run
I've not noticed any corrosion, gets used daily with minimal care
